Protective lens cover and ND filters: you can use protective lens covers. Hyperlapse: capture a stabilized time lapse. The Qoocam 8K likewise has excellent stabilization. Q shortcut button: this customizable button can access commonly used functions.Ħ-axis stabilization: the original Qoocam had one of the best stabilization for 360 cameras. Unlike the GoPro MAX (reviewed here), you will be able to swipe the screen to look around 360 photos and videos. Touchscreen: It has a 2.4-inch touchscreen that can be used not only for changing settings but also previewing and reviewing photos and videos. It also has support for 12-bit DNG Raw, DNG8 Raw Burst mode, and Realtime Raw+, which can stack an 8-shot DNG raw burst and convert it to 16bit DNG output within the camera, which can then be stitched in the mobile or desktop app. High quality photos: photo resolution is 7680 x 3840, which is tied for the highest photo resolution among consumer 360 cameras. Moreover, Kandao’s AI slow motion can interpolate frames to simulate 4K 960fps frame rate. That is the highest resolution, highest frame rate, and highest bit depth slow motion for consumer 360 cameras. Slow motion video: Qoocam 8K can capture 4X slow motion at 3840 x 1920 120fps, 10-bit. The phone app can then merge and stitch these three Express DNG8 into a stitched HDR photo (in JPG).įolded optical path: Qoocam uses a folded optical path like the Ricoh Theta, which enables the lenses to be brought closer to each other, resulting in less parallax stitching errors. Super HDR ( see below): In this mode, the Qoocam 8K takes three Express DNG8 photos (i.e., 24 Raw DNG photos, merged into three photos): one at -3EV, 0EV, and +2EV. Unlike in-camera DNG8, the stacking happens immediately after the shot. In-camera DNG8 ( see below): Qoocam 8K can take a burst of 8 Raw DNG photos and stack them in-camera with no need to use Kandao Raw+ software.Įxpress DNG8 ( see below): Qoocam 8K can take a burst of 8 Raw DNG photos and stack them into a single 16-bit DNG photo with less noise and better shadow range. The app generates 4K proxy files automatically when you download videos to your phone. A future Qoocam 8K Pro version will be able to live stream in 8K 360 video (see below re 8K Pro).ĨK Express Editing (NEW): with Qoocam, you can edit 8K 360 videos on your phone. This video from Kandao shows a demo of the latitude of a Qoocam 8k video.ĤK 360 video live streaming (NEW): The Qoocam 8K can live stream in 4K 360 video. 10-bit video provides better latitude for adjusting exposure and colors in postprocessing, as well as offering better highlight and shadow recovery. Kandao Qoocam 8K features a folded optical pathġ0-bit video: It is also the first consumer 360 camera to offer 10-bit video, a feature that had been available only for high end professional 360 cameras. In fact, Qoocam 8K’s video quality is comparable to that of the $4199 Kandao Obsidian R, according to Kandao’s CEO. Highest resolution video: Qoocam’s 8K resolution is the highest among consumer 360 cameras. Here is an analysis of its image quality and whether the quality is really 8K or just upscaled based on the sample photos and video below.Ħ4GB onboard + removable Micro SD up to 256GB Here is my hands-on comparison between Qoocam 8K (beta version) and Insta360 One X and GoPro MAX. It is also the first consumer 360 camera to feature 10-bit video, which enables it to capture over 1 billion possible colors, 64 times more than the 16.7 million colors that can be captured on 8-bit video. Qoocam 8K has two lenses paired with 1/1.7-inch sensors, which are 54% larger than 1/2.3-inch sensors, and have an image circle that is more than 70% larger than the image circle of a 1/2.3-inch sensor. ![]() Price availability how to get a discount Kandao QooCam 8K ![]() Sample video and sample photos (updated December 2, 2019) ![]() Specifications and Features (updated June 13, 2020)Įxpress DNG8 and Super HDR (added June 13, 2020) I had the chance to try it out and here are my hands-on impressions. Moreover, Kandao’s CEO stated to me that it has the same detail and video quality as the highly regarded Kandao Obsidian R (which currently costs $4199) albeit in monoscopic 360 video only. At just $589, it is the most affordable 8K 360 camera on the market. Kandao Qoocam 8K is the first 8K 360 camera for consumers.
